They are rare birds, these youthful phenoms who come up from the sticks, need- ing nothing but an opening through which to project themselves into the thick of things, but the Yankees ap- pear to have snared an especially ro- l Donovan Says Pitcher Markvlevls Find of 1916 bust specimen in the person of CIiff Markle.

We were talking with Fielding H. Yost, on hand for the football.com- mittee meeting, about the devious ways af sporting instruction, a man has something,” said Yost, “you can improve it by instruc- tion. But if he hasn’t got it, no one can put it there.” “What do you consider,” we asked, “the most essential feature in a man for sparting succe: Genius, knack, power, speed or what?” “The determination to make good,” Yost answered. ‘“He may have every- thing else, but unless he hag this it will not be worth much. There is a certain knack or instinct in sport as there is in music or art. Some have this instinct and others haven’t. It is important, but not necessary if a man has the quality of determination to keep on trying.” The Way Up. “If a fellow,” continued Yost, ien’t enough interested in -a thing to plug alang at it and to make sac- rifices for success, he will- never get very far. There are some people you can teach for forty years without them getting anywhere. The right sort of material doesn’t need a lot of coaching for it will get there any- how. But give me the fellow who is determined to make good and Tl take a chance an the rest of it.” At the Start. “As a rule,” added Yost, “men who are good at a sport are generally | LIGHT good from the beginning. It isn’t very often that a star is developed who was poor at the start.” This is true enough. We ran across sn old college player a day or two ago who played with Ty Cobb his first, season aut in the Georgia-Alabama league. “Ty was pretty raw material then,” he said, ‘“but he could hit, run and throw to beat the band. Dave Robertson and young Sisler were both stars in college and neither | required any training or teaching to speak of. Habit and Environment. Habit and environment also have their share along sportive ways. the average you can take first class with in tatsmen and drop them White Sox or Yankees two weeks they will forget how to swing. These clubs have always Leen light hitting machines and the habit of the old days seems to tack newcomers. On the other wing down at Wash- ington Clark Griffith can get pretty good pitching out of any he finds. Neither the Giants or Tigers | bave any trouble about getting hit- ters. Ball players come to these two clubs and begin to hit about the time they get settled. But Jennings can’t get any pitch- ing, no matter where he gaes or what stars he brings to camp. Here s an | instance at hand—Lee Magee last season in the Fed circuit outbatted McKechnie over 60 points. But | Magee with the Yanks is under .200 and McKechnie with the Giants, after | 2 lean, hitless start, is now 60 points | Leyond Magee. and about at- man The Yanks have had good pitching | sll alang, even in their days of woe | and sorrow.
